Raytheon: The Missile Empire That Never Misses

Описание: Raytheon didn’t just build missiles — they built the whole system that makes them work: radars, sensors, guidance networks, launchers and software. By selling the ecosystem instead of a single weapon, they turned air defense into a decades‑long subscription: upgrades, patches, maintenance, training interceptors and emergency replenishments keep payments flowing. Winning the Patriot program wasn’t about the perfect missile, it was about controlling every link so countries get locked in. The Ukraine war only accelerated orders and replenishments, proving that in modern defense, missiles aren’t optional — they’re the backbone, and Raytheon controls it. They don’t have to win wars to profit — they just need the world to keep preparing for them.
